When students cannot express themselves
clearly in English, participation drops confidence declines learning opportunities are lost
ELSA gives every K-12 student structured spoken English practice, instant AI feedback, and the confidence to communicate, without adding to the teacher's workload.
Better speaking outcomes for students. Better visibility for educators
Supporting every student's voice is hard
Teachers manage diverse speaking abilities with limited time. As classrooms grow, consistent practice and measurable progress become harder to achieve for every student.
Without consistent practice, learning gaps widen.
Participation becomes inconsistent
Teachers spend time encouraging participation over learning
Traditional methods provide limited visibility into real progress
Group discussions lose effectiveness
Presentations become stressful instead of learning opportunities

Vocabulary and Sentences
ELSA scores each attempt on pronunciation and delivery, giving instant, specific feedback so students know exactly what to improve.
Reading aloud
Students are evaluated not only on being able to read the content, but on how well they communicate that content in terms of pronunciation, intonation, fluency and more. This isn't just a grade—it's a guide to help students improve.
Real conversations
Students carry out a real conversation with an AI partner using their lesson vocabulary, then receive feedback on clarity, pronunciation and delivery.
Open practice
Students record any spoken task and receive instant feedback on pronunciation, intonation, fluency, grammar and vocabulary. Scores benchmarked against international standards.

ELSA for Universities
Speaking ability shapes exam results and career readiness
University students face a different kind of pressure: standardized exam scores that determine academic progression, and the spoken English fluency that employers expect on day one. ELSA gives universities a single platform that supports both.

Frequently asked questions
What is ELSA School and who is it for?
ELSA School is an AI-powered English learning platform designed for K-12 Education (5-16 years old). Teachers can turn existing teaching materials—whether it's a list of vocabulary, sentences from a textbook, or a reading passage—into interactive pronunciation lessons which match the classroom curriculum. ELSA School makes it easy for teachers to monitor performance of students across different assignments.
Is ELSA Schools the same as ELSA Speak?
ELSA School doesn’t use the Speak App (available through the Android and iOS App Stores). Instead, learners interact with ELSA’s service through a web-based Student App (which is specifically designed for students & classroom learning).
How does ELSA School differ from ELSA Business?
ELSA School is built to adapt to the constantly evolving lessons in the classroom. It supports schools in delivering their existing curriculum while helping students develop clear and effective communication skills. In contrast, ELSA Business is designed for working adults, university students, and professionals, offering more advanced scenarios and workplace-focused content.
Is ELSA School suitable for University students?
ELSA School is designed specifically for K–12 education, with an interface and learning experience tailored to younger learners and classroom-based instruction. For University students, ELSA Business is a better fit, as it supports more advanced learning scenarios and complex language use aligned with academic and professional contexts.
What devices do students need to use ELSA School?
Students can access ELSA School through a web browser on mobile devices and computers. It is not available as a mobile application.
Can teachers create their own content?
Yes, teachers can create lessons in ELSA School in two ways using the Content Creator. They can build study sets or read-aloud exercises based on materials from their existing textbooks, or go beyond the textbook by using AI to generate new, original learning materials simply by providing a prompt. The interactive pronunciation lessons are then delivered as Assignments to the Student App where the students practice lesson material.
What languages are supported for instructions?
ELSA supports multiple display languages, so students can see instructions in their native language while learning English. This is particularly helpful for beginner-level students who may not be comfortable with English-only interfaces.
How and when do I assign learners to the license?
After purchasing licenses and setting up your organization in the ELSA School Admin Dashboard, you activate licenses by inviting teachers and students via email through the dashboard. Unassigned licenses auto-activate two weeks after purchase. Though you can still assign them later, the subscription period starts on the auto-activation date. Assigning licenses beyond two weeks will reduce the learner's total study time.
How do teachers track student progress?
Teachers have access to a comprehensive dashboard where they can view individual student performance, class-level insights, assignment completion rates, and detailed progress reports. The dashboard shows pronunciation scores, time spent practicing, skill development across different areas, and engagement metrics.
Can parents see their child's progress?
Yes, parents can be given access to the dashboard with view-only permissions. They can see their child's learning progress, time spent practicing, and skill development, but cannot access other students' information.
Are there any language proficiency certifications or recognized assessments tied to ELSA results?
Yes. The ELSA Proficiency Score (EPS) is our internal metric that measures speaking performance across five key areas: Pronunciation, Intonation, Fluency, Grammar, and Vocabulary. The EPS is directly correlated and mapped to the international standard CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), as well as IELTS speaking bands. We also indirectly map scores to other tests such as TOEIC, EIKEN, and GEPT.
Is there a trial period available?
Yes, we offer trial periods for schools to test the platform. Typically, we provide 5-10 trial accounts for 14 days so teachers and select students can experience the full functionality before making a purchase decision.
What is the minimum number of licenses required?
The minimum package for ELSA School is 50 student licenses. This includes unlimited admin and teacher accounts, so only student accounts count toward the license total.
What is the minimum contract period?
Contracts require a minimum commitment of 12 months.
What is the cancellation period?
Contract cancellation requires a minimum of 30 days' notice prior to the contract expiry date. The plan will not be renewed, and you will not be billed for the subsequent licensing period. However, access to the ELSA's School Admin Dashboard and the existing licenses will remain available until the conclusion of the current subscription period.
